Default World Champions!!!

All Blacks - Rugby World Cup Champions.

All Blacks, you are absolute stars tonight. Its been a long time coming and the French certainly didn't make it easy for the boys, they really took the game to the All Blacks and it came down to the final seconds of the game.

I predict that there will be a hangover epidemic in New Zealand tomorrow.
(Luckily, its a public holiday tomorrow!)

Man that was edge of the sofa stuff, I was jumping all over the sofa. I've had ants in my pants the whole bloody game, a couple of the guys had to leave the room here. France played a fantastic game, ABs had the discipline. So much pressure, that was nailbiting. Too many shades of past games for my liking. Watching that match has shorten the life expectancy of all New Zealanders.

In the words of Captain McCawsome "I'm absolutely shagged"

Well done Kiwis- both players and supporters, the Cup is finally home

I'm thrilled Lisa, the Australasian All Blacks can play can't they.

Well Brad Thorn is Australian.


Cheers,

Absolutely! I had a friend here watching the game and she had to leave the room a few times. France did well, it was like watching TWO All Black teams. I almost couldn't watch at times, especially the last five minutes.

Woody; I'm thrilled Lisa, the Australasian All Blacks can play can't they.

Well Brad Thorn is Australian.

The big guy was in tears when the ref blew his whistle tonight. One of the best imports we've made! Don't forget Ben Franks is Aus born too, but then Quade Cooper is actually a Kiwi so we're even!

Was this an important event or something in New Zealand? I don't know if the news has picked up this - er what was it - the Word Cup or something?







Okay, okay - CONGRATULATIONS TO THE ALL BLACKS!!!!!!
